Why not Buy a 1.8 Corsa C that would work out cheaper and would also cost less to insure.

It would be cheaper and it also comes with no hassle.

Would you be able to insure something faster?

e.g have you thought about the Z20LET instead of just a 1.8?

In fairness, doing an engine change when you can buy a car with that engine as standard, is a silly and pointless exercise.

Not always, I put a vts engine in my vtr, cost me £100 all in and took me a weekend. I liked how my car was and knew it was a straight shell etc.

id never pay someone to do a conversion if you could buy one ready from the factory.
i know its frowned on but i know a lot of people do conversions for cheaper insurance and tax etc
